A very late thank you on a swap

Created By My Colonial Home

Well you may have seen that I haven’t been on here for awhile…not just posting but visiting your blogs as well – I want to say I’m sorry for not being there – the bottom line in LIFE JUST GOT GETS IN THE WAY!

First order of business is a huge THANK YOU to TAMMY from http://aprimitiveplace.blogspot.com/.
I joined her ‘Envelope Swap’ awhile back that she was hosting.  I was fortunate enough to have Tammy as my swap partner and I’m so happy for that – she’s just the best gift giver ever!

I knew that package was coming but I just didn’t know when, and when I saw it sitting on my porch I grabbed it and opened it fast…but I kept a bit of control and took a picture of the wrapped items – just prolonged the suspense.
I must say the envelope was packed too.
Package 1 


And when I got them all unwrapped…here’s what I found
A bundle of wonderful fabric…
Fabric from tammy 

Tammy’s handmade faceless dolls -

A personalized Pillow Tuck…just perfect

And last…one of Tam’s beautiful handmade ‘Burlap Bears’…just adorable

THANK YOU TAMMY…I’m so sorry it took me over a week to get this posted.
I truly love it all.

    Hi Karen,
    I can completely relate.
    I've barely been online lately. I check in with my phone when ever I can. I don't leave many comments because this darn phone key board is too small for my fingers. :)
    Hope you are enjoying your Summer.

    I'm so glad you were pleased with your swap goodies.
    Thanks so much for joing in.
    Hugs,
    Tam
